Do you want to be more active, but feel locked out of sport because of your disability? As Disabled people, we have a right to be physically active in a way that is enjoyable. The exclusion you feel is a result of system failure, not your own. getyourselfactive.org

🚨Cutting disability benefits is a major public health risk 48% of adults in a household where someone claims health-related UC are also in a household without reliable access to enough affordable, nutritious, healthy food, compared to 11% of all working-age adults.

Austerity policies, such as cutting the winter fuel payment, are a public health risk. This U-turn from the Government is welcomed. We hope they will further consider the detrimental impact of disability benefit cuts and make a similar U-turn! bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5yx…

More money for the NHS will fall flat if the Government go ahead with their proposed disability benefit cuts, which are a major public health risk. It's time for them to abandon the cuts and pledge to fully fund our health and social care system. #SpendingReview
